Why size_t I wonder? It can never be > n_req_pages which is int.
Callers also seem to assume int.

Looks like all callers bug on a failure. So let's just do it here,
and then make this void?

A bunch of grammar error here. Pls fix for clarify.
Also - document that nothing must lock the pages? More assumptions?
What is "it" in this context? All pages? And what does removing from
guest mean? Really adding to the balloon?

Do we want to do something about an error here?

We used to bug on failure to lock page, now we
silently ignore this error. Why?
